This 1970 Jaguar XKE is a Series II open two-seater that was sold new in the US finished in Willow Green over Suede Green.
It retains its original 4.2-liter inline-six, which is paired with a four-speed manual gearbox.
The previous owner had the car for 35 years.
Four new Michelin tires and a new stainless exhaust system were installed.
Will come with records dating back to the 1980s, manuals, a Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate, and a clean title. Finished from the factory in Willow Green, the car received a partial exterior repaint to rectify a number of chips and flaws in the finish. Reassembly included new front bumper seals, as well as a replacement left front turn signal and reverse light housings. The disc brake system received a new master cylinder and servo, along with new hoses and a fluid flush. Four new 205/70-series Michelin Defender tires were installed on the 15″ chrome wire wheels.
The left-hand-drive cabin is trimmed in Suede Green upholstery with matching carpets. The latter were replaced last year, and a new handbrake ratchet was also fitted.
A new Moto-Lita 15″ wood-rimmed wheel fronts a set of factory Smiths gauges, and 86k miles are shown on the five-digit odometer. The speedometer was repaired in 2018, and the tachometer glass was removed for cleaning and reinstalled.
The 4.2-liter XK inline-six is equipped with dual Stromberg carburetors and was factory-rated for 246 horsepower in US-market specification. A top-end rebuild, including new head studs, intake and exhaust valves, and cam bearings, was performed in 2018. A recent compression test revealed between 160 and 165 psi in all six cylinders. The carburetors were rebuilt, and the fluids were also changed.
A tool kit, jack, chrome spare, and soft-face mallet reside in the trunk.
You can tell, had a pampered life and no sign of abuse any where, in it’s entire life. The interior/exterior all original factory and in perfect shape, no rips or tears anywhere!
